<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 25968360, member: 104064&quot;]Search this forum or any other for titles containing &quot;no mint.&quot; The vast majority are from people who think they found something valuable that isn&#039;t. A handful are coins that <i>should </i>have a P for Philly but don&#039;t, and in those cases it&#039;s perfectly valid to question what happened to the mint mark (grease filled die and a 1944 Henning nickel are two that I saw). I&#039;m truly trying to be helpful here. You seem to be pushing back like I&#039;m wrong or something. No experienced coin collector calls a 1974 quarter a &quot;1974 no mint mark&quot; quarter. No reference book you will find, nor any reputable auction house, defines any coin as &quot;no mint mark&quot; when it&#039;s just a regular Philly issue. It&#039;s certainly tough to learn all the jargon associated with this hobby and use it correctly. My beef with this one is that it originated with scammers and is perpetuated by scammers trying to dupe people into buying their &quot;no mint mark&quot; coins. If you dropped that phrase from your lexicon, you would be viewed as a more knowledgeable collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
